Puff Pastry:
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Lay the puff pastry sheets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Prick the pastry with a fork to prevent it from rising too much during baking.
Lightly dust with icing sugar to caramelize the pastry.
Cover the dough with another sheet of parchment paper and place another baking sheet on top to keep the dough flat.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
Let cool completely.
